During the reporting period about 300 HCMM images has been received from N.A.S.A. and Lanion but only twenty are usable. For two scenes we have a same day and night infrared acquisition but in both cases quality of one of them (day) does not allow the realization of a thermal inertia map. Even with this restricted number of usable images significant geological details can be mapped in the two concerned domains, litholo- gy and tectonic. In the Causse plateau, in melting day, night and seaso- nal image interpretationsit becomes possible to diffe.renciate broad calcareous and dolomitic units. In the Massif armoricain some granite massifs, some of them being not observed on Landsat, have been delinea- ted and neotectonic faults could have a certain thermal expression which is to be investigated. _ • SUMMARY INTRODUCTION I - PROBLEMS P. 1 Cloud uuv!_°r condition .

This is a progress report, the second one. Some images are visually interpreted and the,geological mapping ability of thermal infrared is demonstrated. I - Probl ems The realization of the proposed investigation is favourably develop- ping ,even if some p roblems occur. These problems concern - Cloud cover condition The heat capacity mapping mission test-site cloud cover study based on Nimbus data allows investigator to determine the number of clear or less than 30 percent cloud cover cy cles to be expected. Avalaible tables give 20 possibilities for the Massif armoricain per year and 33 for the Massif central. From U.S. we already have received 106 scenes (see fig. 1) over the two test sites : 65-visible day, 61 IR day, 40 IR night. But only 10 scenes are usable - From Lanion (France) we have receeved about 195 scenes - only 10 are acceptable, and five really usable (four night IR, two day IR, 1 visible). This correspond to a period starting in may 1978, ending in september, 1979 i.e. 16 months (see fig. 2). It-is apparent1v more difficult than expected to obtain images with an acceptable clnud covet. Some day night and day infrared In september 1979, HCMM acquired over the Massif central a day and night infrared, and day visible. Infortunatly the day image quality is poor, this scene being one of the two which could make possible the realization of a thermal inertia map. The second being acquiered in may 11, 1979. - This secondscene covers the southern part of France - but here also the day infrared image, on the overtlanping area, is not really usable. Nevertheless w e plane to ask NASA for a thermal inertia map on a very small uncloudy area. - Day visible quality image In general day visible quality image are poorly contrasted even if uncloudy Only two of them -are usable but lineaments and geological boundaries interpretation, compared to the Landsat and Tiros one is very limited. Geometric correction Comp ared to the Landsat standart scale occuracy easily making possible surimposition with topographical map, the HCMM products are not so good : defor- mations occur and scale r:hanges between,scenes are frequent.

Summary – After the third European Congress of Odonatology (ECOO) which took place from 11 to 17 July in Montpellier (France), 21 odonatologists from six countries participated in the week-long field trip that was organised in the Aude department. This area was chosen as it is under- surveyed and offered the participants the possibility to discover the Languedoc-Roussillon region and the dragonfly fauna of southern France. In summary, 43 sites were investigated involving 385 records and 45 dragonfly species. These records could be added to the regional database. No less than five species mentioned in the Habitats Directive ( Coenagrion mercuriale , Gomphus flavipes , G.

  • Trace Metals from Historical Mining Sites and Past
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Trace metals from historical mining sites and past metallurgical activity remain bioavailable to wildlife Received: 20 April 2017 Accepted: 11 December 2017 today Published: xx xx xxxx Estelle Camizuli 1,2, Renaud Scheifer3, Stéphane Garnier4, Fabrice Monna1, Rémi Losno5, Claude Gourault1, Gilles Hamm1, Caroline Lachiche1, Guillaume Delivet1, Carmela Chateau6 & Paul Alibert4 Throughout history, ancient human societies exploited mineral resources all over the world, even in areas that are now protected and considered to be relatively pristine. Here, we show that past mining still has an impact on wildlife in some French protected areas. We measured cadmium, copper, lead, and zinc concentrations in topsoils and wood mouse kidneys from sites located in the Cévennes and the Morvan. The maximum levels of metals in these topsoils are one or two orders of magnitude greater than their commonly reported mean values in European topsoils. The transfer to biota was efective, as the lead concentration (and to a lesser extent, cadmium) in wood mouse kidneys increased with soil concentration, unlike copper and zinc, providing direct evidence that lead emitted in the environment several centuries ago is still bioavailable to free-ranging mammals. The negative correlation between kidney lead concentration and animal body condition suggests that historical mining activity may continue to play a role in the complex relationships between trace metal pollution and body indices. Ancient mining sites could therefore be used to assess the long-term fate of trace metals in soils and the subsequent risks to human health and the environment. Te frst evidence of extractive metallurgy dates from the 6th millennium BC in the Near East1,2.

"The Massif du Sancy alone forms a world: a world born several million years ago". François Graveline. FIRST VOLCANIC PHASE It began 20 million years ago, in the Miocene (tertiary era). Almost all types of current volcanoes have succeeded one another, which is what gives it its strato-volcano type structure. The Massif du Sancy is the most complex volcanic region of the Massif Central, it also has the greatest diversity of sites. There is such a close connection between the topography and the geological constitution, that one can not understand one without the other.

The first event, termed the pre-rifl magmatic event, is very scarce and restricted to the north of the Massif Central.

  • Geotour France 1: Cantal and the Chaîne Des Puys (Auvergne); Volcanoes “A La Carte”
    www.aulados.net Geotours France 1 2021 Geotour France 1: Cantal and the Chaîne des Puys (Auvergne); volcanoes “a la carte” The Miocene to Holocene “green” volcanoes of France. If someone wants to learn volcanology or simply enjoy an unforgettable natural environment, "this" is the perfect place in Europe. R. Oyarzun1 & P. Cubas2 Retired Associate Professors of Geology1 and Botany2, UCM-Madrid (Spain) Fall and flow pyroclastic deposits in the Puy de Lemptégy, an “open-cast” volcano.

Oyarzun Aula2puntonet - 2021 1 www.aulados.net Geotours France 1 2021 Introduction Our little tribute to Professor Robert Brousse (1929-2010), Auvergnat and geologist, with a superb in- depth knowledge of his region. For an amazing “volcanic trip” to the heart of France, one must visit and tour the magnificent departments of Cantal and Puy de Dôme. These departments host what it was the largest volcano in Europe and the famous Chaîne des Puys, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The word “puy” (UK : 'pwi) comes from the Latin podium, and means “height” or “hill” (Godard, 2013). Both the Cantal volcano and the Chaîne des Puys are located in the French Central Massif.

Without even mentioning the geology (in general), or the volcanoes (in particular), the Auvergne region is internationally recognized for many reasons, its landscapes with impressive peaks, valleys, ravines, forests, lakes, dormant volcanoes (although as in the Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: you never know ...) and so on, its remarkable religious (Romanesque and Gothic) and military architectural heritage (countless castles and fortresses), and also, why not, for its gastronomy (after all is France, isnt’it?).

  • A Case Study from the Pontgibaud Fault Zone (French Massif Central)

ABSTRACT Numerous recent studies indicate that crustal-scale fault zones represent efficient conduits for meteoric fluids to flow down to mid- crustal depths (Haines et al., 2016). The present study aims to understand the potential of a new and novel type of geothermal system for high temperature and electricity production: Crustal Fault Zones (CFZ). One such example is the Pontgibaud fault zone (French Massif Central), a 30 km-long and 3 km-wide mineralized fault zone. The Pontgibaud fault zone is also characterized by numerous CO2-rich- thermo-mineral springs. Moreover, this area is also defined by local and regional surface heat flow values of 110 mW/m2 (International Heat Flow Commission database) involving temperature gradients between 37 and 41 °C/km.
